I don't trust shipping internationally. More chance of damage, plus import duties, plus tax, plus difficulties for RMA or warranty.

The conclusion is similar tho: SSDs are only 2 times more expensive (not 7 as the article claims) and that makes it worth it for me given all the advantages the offer.
